One of the more mysterious characters from President Obama's 1995 autobiography Dreams From My Father is the so-called 'New York girlfriend.' Obama never referred to her by name, or even by psuedonym, but he describes her appearance, her voice, and her mannerisms in specific detail.
But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss that the 'New York girlfriend' was actually a composite character, based off of multiple girlfriends he had both in New York City and in Chicago.
"During an interview in the Oval Office, Obama acknowledged that, while Genevieve was his New York girlfriend, the description in his memoir was a compression of girlfriends, including one who followed Genevieve [Cook] when he lived in Chicago," Maraniss writes in his new biography, an excerpt of which was published online today by Vanity Fair.
Though Dreams From My Father is an autobiography, and hence non-fiction, Obama makes no mention of this "compression," nor is their any note by the publisher, Broadway Books. In fact, Obama only acknowledged the "compression" after Maraniss learned that Cook had no recollection of some of the events at which Obama said she was present.

None of this happened with Genevieve. She remembered going to the theater only once with Barack, and it was not to see a work by a black playwright. When asked about this decades later, during a White House interview, Obama acknowledged that the scene did not happen with Genevieve. It is an incident that happened, he said. But not with her. He would not be more specific,

Is there a picture of Obama's past girlfriend on the internet? Thanks.
Based off of multiple fantasies. This limp-wristed dooshbag, 0bama, has never had a girlfriend. Just a moosefriend.
That would explain why not one woman has come forward to claim her 15 minutes of fame as the "former gf of the first black POTUS."
Like his wife.

Thanks for the ping. Great thread.

Made up memories are so difficult to recall in exact detail.
There, fixed it...
Good one, Pappy. Somewhere Bill Ayers and an old flame of his - are laughing....
... but mainly because they're boyfriends.
Sitting in his seat, a seat broad and broken In, sprinkled with ashes Pop switches channels, takes another Shot of Seagrams, neat, and asks What to do with me, a green young man Who fails to consider the Flim and flam of the world, since Things have been easy for me; I stare hard at his face, a stare That deflects off his brow; Im sure hes unaware of his Dark, watery eyes, that Glance in different directions, And his slow, unwelcome twitches, Fail to pass. I listen, nod, Listen, open, till I cling to his pale, Beige T-shirt, yelling, Yelling in his ears, that hang With heavy lobes, but hes still telling His joke, so I ask why Hes so unhappy, to which he replies... But I dont care anymore, cause He took too damn long, and from Under my seat, I pull out the Mirror Ive been saving; Im laughing, Laughing loud, the blood rushing from his face To mine, as he grows small, A spot in my brain, something That may be squeezed out, like a Watermelon seed between Two fingers. Pop takes another shot, neat, Points out the same amber Stain on his shorts that Ive got on mine, and Makes me smell his smell, coming From me; he switches channels, recites an old poem He wrote before his mother died, Stands, shouts, and asks For a hug, as I shrink, my Arms barely reaching around His thick, oily neck, and his broad back; cause I see my face, framed within Pops black-framed glasses And know hes laughing too.
I hear ya!
Yep.
The lies, inside the lies, inside the lies .... all manipulated, ‘revised’ and whitewashed by a shamefully compromised and less than believable MSM will assure that America is never going to know exactly who or what he actually is.
